BOCA RATON, Fla. -- NHL general managers spent the first day of their three-day meetings discussing overtime and shootouts, expanded video reviews and goalie interference. The opening session Monday featured three breakout groups of 10 general managers, with each group assigned particular topics. There appears to be some concern that too many games are being decided in shootouts instead of during the flow of play. Of the 135 of 963 games played through last Saturday, 14 per cent were decided in a shootout. And 40 per cent that went to overtime were decided in a shootout. Among the suggested changes being discussed are a 3-on-3 element instead of four skaters apiece in the extra 5-minute session; extending the overtime; or requiring teams to switch ends of the ice, creating a longer change on line changes. But there doesnt seem to be a strong consensus toward any particular direction -- or even if overtime needs to be changed. Colin Campbell, the NHL executive vice-president and director of hockey operations, viewed the overtime issue as both an official and a hockey fan. "I think what the challenge is to maybe not have as many shootouts," Campbell said. "A lot of people in the game would rather see the game decided (not) in a skills contest. "I would, too, but Im the last one to leave the room when theyre doing the shootout. I like watching to see whats going to happen. So Im kind of torn in that direction." The discussion of expanded video review seems weighted on when to start reviewing the tape and how much time a review takes. "I will say there wasnt a lot of consensus on the criteria," said Craig MacTavish, Edmontons general manager. "Theres a lot that goes into it when youre trying to evaluate the specific criteria, like how long from the incident are you going to reel it back? "There was no resolution in our group in terms of making many changes to video review." The increase in activity around the net has also led to an interest in goalie interference at this weeks meetings. "Theres so much play around the net now, the way our game is now with everybody collapsing and boxing out and blocking shots," said Bryan Murray, Ottawas GM. "All the plays now that are goals, in most cases, theres some kind of foot in the crease. Im not interested in that. But if the goaltender is not allowed to make a play on the shot, then we should we get the call as correct as we can." Also on the agenda is kicked-in goals. "I think there is an appetite to have directed goals be allowed," said Tim Murray, Buffalos general manager. "I know it says distinct kicking motion, but (with) a blatant lift-your-foot-off-the-ice kick type of thing not allowed." On Tuesday, members of the breakout groups will report to the whole meeting.

England were denied victory in their Euro 2016 Group B clash when conceding a stoppage-time goal to draw 1-1 at the Stade Velodrome in Marseille on Saturday. It was a familiar story for England, who have never won their opening match at a European Championship and began their campaign 20 years ago with a 1-1 draw against Switzerland at Wembley.

We had a draw against Switzerland and then we had to play against Scotland. Talking about motivation, you couldnt get more motivation than playing Scotland. England v Wales: Past meetings How have the Three Lions fared in previous meetings against The Dragons? I knew in the first 10, 15, 25 minutes that the Scots would come and hit us like a brick wall. They played really, really well for the opening 30 minutes, but for the rest of the game it went well for us, especially in the second half. The main thing yyou must make sure of is that you dont lose the opening match.dddddddddddd Once you lose, everybody gets a bit nervy, so youve got to hold your nerve. They didnt want to lose the first game, they will want to be winning from the second game onwards. Eric Dier (C) stunning free-kick was cancelled out by Vasili Berezutskis header We had Scotland which was a tough game and of course we had the Netherlands and Spain, so the first game was helpful that we did draw. So, dont worry too much about the draw. If its a draw youre still in it.Normally on the first game, you can have a good bet on it being a draw. You find that every team wants to get a point on the board after the opening game so theyve got something they can be happy about and take that into the second game. Terry Venables (L), alongside coach Bryan Robson, led England to the semi-finals of Euro 96 Venables is confident England will improve and has backed Roy Hodgsons Rolls Royce players to start picking up victories. Roy has got the squad, they have been training really well and I think weve got some real Rolls Royce players as far as I am concerned, he said. They have to keep themselves to themselves, let other people do the talking and well do all the action. I think we can look forward to some good results.
